The Japanese do not have a major supply problem in China. They can bomb China into the stone age if they choose. It's less about stopping Allied bombing than Japanese destruction of China.

No one yet.

We're in the pre-war "pick a fight" stage. [:D] Steve and I are the Allies and CB and Mynok are the Japanese. Trying to hash out all the settings/HR's/etc that we are going to use.

Frankly guys, I don't care. I'll sign off on whatever is necessary to satisfy you all. But I'll raise my objections now, and poke holes in them now,and then shut up about it once we start. In other words, I'll do my bitching now, not when were playing. [:D]
No way! That approach certainly won't work for me! [:D]


TOUGH! Suck it up! Then maybe you'll be ChickenMAN instead of Chickenboy![:D]

Ask the people who built the game. What rules do they use. What flaws will be fixed next game. Quite simply , let's define the problem before we try to fix it.
Will you please get in contact with them and let us know what they identify as still being 'deeply flawed' enough for a HR?


OK. Who do you recommend? Mike said he had an email to someone about the next patch...who is it? Point me in the right direction and I'll hunt![:D]

I PM'ed MichaelM to ask about the DB patch, since he's the only person I've seen mention it so far...

Then that would seem to me to be the inaccurracy , the flaw as it were. Unless the Japanese had a specific reason NOT to bomb China. MORALITY perhaps? Naw. [:D]

We're fighting the "pre-game" war to fight the war. And I think that I just moved into the "Designated A$$hole" position![:D]

Do you think Joe Wilkinson might be able to steer us towards someone? [&:]

Allies do have a supply problem. In a not to distant past I have serious supply problems in China. I could not get any supply together. Might be because of the Japanese steam rolling I encountered. [8|]
Lucky for you, tonight it's just me

I think the reason they did not bomb industry in China (very much) was that the historical situation was much more of a quagmire than the game is able to represent. The game is awesome, but almost everyone would agree that the China theater is one of the weaker areas.

I'll throw this out to chew on. Could we consider our own "quiet China" approach? Basically, leave China alone. Does this give one side or the other a significant advantage? I'll admit, it is the area of the game that I enjoy the least, but since it's the area I understand the least, I can't say what impact this could or would have on the game as we play it out. As I sit here and type, I think about this more, and it goes against my instincts. I'm a "play the game" type of guy. I appreciate that the proposed SB HR benefits the Allies a good bit. I have no problem with it.

Not at all. Without discussion, there can be no agreement. We all need to be happy going into this long term, four way relationship. [;)]
